香港的現代歷史由海濱開始。在今年-二零零六年的夏天,見證了維港半個世紀的中環皇后碼頭和天星碼頭便會消失。這兩個碼頭可以供市民釣魚、坐船遊維港、拍拖時憑欄遠眺夜景和拍攝結婚照,是普羅大眾生活的一部分。皇后碼頭是渡海泳的終點,也是遊行示威人士的熱門集合地點;天星小輪是現時最便宜的渡海交通工具,被國家地理旅行家雜誌列為「人生50個必到景點」之一。 來自︰http://www.conservancy.org.hk/heritage/harbor/ The Clock Tower of "Star Ferry" Pier has been a part of Central on the Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong since 15th December, 1957. The Clock Tower was built when the "Star Ferry" Pier was relocated beside Edinburgh Place. The clock chimes every 15 minutes around the clock. John Keswick of Jardine Matheson gave the clock to the Star Ferry in celebration of the new pier of 1957. It was said that the clock was a gift from the King of Belgium to British government and then to Jardine Matheson. The pier is going to be relocated as the result of reclamation again. Its new location is 300 metres away from current location. The Clock Tower would be preserved in its current location. 來自Wikipedia
